I made this over the weekend from bits of junk I had laying around. The tines (keys?) are cut from the spring steel inside old wiper blades.
I will probably experiment with different tines and maybe add an old guitar pickup for an electric kalimba.



Here is a sound clip: http://freemp3hosting.com/57Q
I am playing the kalimba, bongos, claves, guiro and egg shaker.

Ha! I will probably end up cutting up an old rake to make a different set of keys for the kalimba sooner or later.
